A Truth spoken In Jest.

Idaho World: A Chinaman went into
Myer & Smiths store at Placeryille last
Monday, and asked for a bits worth Of
rope. The clerk in the store said he did
not care to cut off that small amount, and
told the Chinaman il he would make il
two bits worth he would accommodate
him. Robert Irwin, who was in the store,
said: "Give him Q bits worth. That ia
sll probably the poor Ohinsmsn has got,
aud maybe he wants to hang himself"
He said this in q joking spirit, not think
ing this was the use to which the China
man intended to put the bits worth Of
ope, which he got. Next morning he
was found dangling at the end of 1t dead.
The Chiusman had been sick for Q long
time. He was about go years of age. Sick.
poverty-stricken and aged, and no doubt
uncared for by his countrymen, and the
future gloomy and full Of sorrow, and not
a cleaning ray of hope to brighten his
pathway, the old Chinaman concluded
that such q life was not worth living, and
determined to take a trip 70 that other
shore where the weary are ct rest and
sorrows are no more.

YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE.

London World: A newly.married
pair, who arrived on their honeymoon
trip at q celebrated Scotch watering place
when accommodations were alta premium,
had a mattress spread for them by a
compassionate inn-keeper in n of the
bathrooms. In the middle Of the night
the house was aroused by loud shrieks
proceeding from the nuptual chamber.
The young bride, wishing to ring for a
servant. had caught hold of what she
supposed to be the bell-rope and pulled
smartly. Unhappily it was the cord Of
the shower bath, and forthwith down
plunged q deluge of cold water. Her
husband caught frantically at another
cord on his side of the exsemporized
couch, but the only response was an
equally liberal deluge of water, this time
nearly boiling hot. The unhappy pair
then screamed in unison. When the
servants came they found the floor
flooded with water, and the wife was
perched like a monkey on her husbands
back, uttering the most lamentable cries,
while her good man was fumbling about
in the dark trying his best to find the

Another PuzzIer for Governor Hi

New York, June 10.-Governor
Hill is face to face with another both
some quandary. The Legislature at
its late session passed an act placing
bucket shops under the restraint of
compelling them to take out a heavy
license and submit to such other con-
ditions as would be likely to kill the
business by making it Improbable.
This act is now in the Governors
hands. He would like to concilliate
the moral sentiment of the community
by signing it, at the same time he is
conscious that back Of the bucket
shops is important political influence it
will not do to treat with disdain at a
time like this, when he will need it all
to strengthen his position in the APP
preaching State convention.

AND STILL THEY COME.
Another New Mandatory Soon to be in
Operation.
Something Which Has Long Been
Needed and Which VIII Prove
of Great Convenience to
Business Men.
A Blank Book Mandatory,

The business men and in fact those OF
the entire Southwestern portion of Min
nesota, have for years been more or less
bothered in securing blank books on
short notice. No first-class mandatory
could be reached short of a hundred or
more miles, and an order sent in invaria-
bly, met with delay and after the book was
received it was more likely to be just what
was not ordered than otherwise. Then
again, if a job was wanted little out OF
the stereotype line of ruling, it had to
be sent away from home and here an
other tedious delay. AS rule, bust
ness men want work on very short no
tice, something that no establishment in
this city has been able to comply with
so promptly as the FREE PRESS. DAILY
more and more the needs of first
class bindery and blank book manufac-
tory have impressed the manager of the
FREE Press until last week he purchased
an entire outfit ofthe very latest machin-
cry and the same is expected here with
in few days.
This Office will be prepared to turn
out any class of work and in just as good
style rs can be had in st. Paul or any
other city. and at the lowest possible
figure consistent with No. | work.
Among the other machinery Is the latest
improved Hickox ruler, with steam
fixtures and Striker" Any class of
special ruled work will be done prompt
", and so also will all class of blank
books-with or without printed heads
magazine binding, and In fact every
thing in this line.
Large additions have been made to
the Job department of the FREE PRESS
with special view to be able to accom-
modate all who may desire first class
printing of whatever kind, and when We
say that there is not an office in the
state better prepared to do commercial
printing than the FREE PRESS we assert
that which can be verified 10 the salts
faction of any one who may favor us
with work.
When our binder is in operation,
bring in your work and aid a much
needed industry. If you want good job
work come and see us any time.

From Thursdays Daily

Mai. Allen, of the government SER
vice, has completed his survey of the
Minnesota river from its mouth to Man
kato. He is now writing his report,
which is to be presented to Congress.
1t looks as if large amount would be
appropriated for the improvement of
this river. The advantages to be de-
rived from this work are incalculable to
Mankato. The completion will reduce
freight rates to the minimum, no doubt.
"A prominent pork buyer referring
to the large quantities of live hogs being
marketed at present said that his advice
to farmers was to hold their hogs for
a month or more and sell them dressed
He said that the figures live hogs are
now bringing are not proportionate to
the price Of mess pork. 1t is his opin-
ion that the farmer who holds his pork
a month longer will more than get 80
cents bushel for the corn it takes to
keep the hogs the extra time.
The new 1900 mile ticket for $40
will be put on sale by the Minneapolis
& st. Louis folks Nov. LIST. These tickets
are good OH all divisions of the Rock
Island, B., G. r. 4 n. and the NJ. & st. L.
The NJ. d st. l.. has just made
special tariff on cotton piece goods, Chi
cago to Mankato, of 80 cents per hum
dred pounds. This is a reduction that
will be very acceptable to our dry goods
men.
The great secret for preventing de-
cay in fruit through autumn and winter,
says an agricultural journal, is to pre-
serve a uniformly low temperature. If
changing and fluctuating, they quickly
rot. Currents of air are bad, because
they make changes in temperature. We
find that apples keep longer in Winter
by wrapping each specimen in tissue
paper and thus excluding the air. Hence
the advantage of packing in any soft.
powdered substance, as dry sawdust,
bran, ground plaster, or bedding in
moss. On a large scale this cannot be
done, and large fruit rooms must there
fore be kept cool without changes OF
air. Much may be accomplished by
ventilating windows, admitting cold air
at night and excluding warm air in the
day time by closing them. These re-
marks apply more particularly to APP
Piles and pears and also to grapes. They
would also apply to small and perish
able fruits, if 1t were an object to keep
them, but the common practice is to
consume them while fresh.

Miss Herman who was obliged to resign
on account of i'll health.
Messrs. Stockley, Warren, Hoerger
and Sudgen leave this afternoon for
Faribault, being sent as delegates by the
association here to attend the conven-
ton of the Y. M. c. A. held in that city
the present week.
Wednesday morning very interest
ing paper was read before the school on
the subject, Newspapers" by Miss
Hern. She forcibly advised the reading
of newspapers for the great amount of
needful information and practical knowl-
edge to be gained bv it. A broad smile
was seen on the audience when quaint
anecdote was told about college gradu-
ate who was so severely lacking in In-
formation to be found in the press that
he made the very ludicrous statement
that he thought the ice palace in st.
Paul last winter was made of-not ice,
but substance In imitation of ice. To
avoid committing oneself in so dreadful
manner as this college student, Miss
Hern suggested the careful reading of at
least one good paper.
Another essay was presented this
morning of great merit by Miss Webster,
on the Hanging Gardens" 1t is al
ways well to be reminded of the mighty
and wonderful works of the ancients.
Many of these works are of such stu
pendous character that we with all our
modern engineering skill are baffied in
initiating.
This has been very profitable term
of school-eyeryone says so.
